The Saint John's University Alumni Association Board of Directors in conjunction with the Saint John’s Abbey is excited to welcome back our Benedictine Way Retreat entitled, "Companions on the Journey.” The retreat begins at 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 20, 2026 and ends at Noon on Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026.

This annual men’s retreat focuses on growth and spiritual formation through individual reflection, 1:1 and small group discussions, prayer, contemplation and general camaraderie.

In addition, ample down time will be allotted for attendees to rest, rejuvenate and enjoy the beauty of Saint John's and the opportunities provided on campus.

The retreat is led by a small cohort of past participants and will be held at the Saint John’s Abbey Guesthouse, a peaceful retreat center on the main campus of Saint John's University next to the Abbey Church.

The cost is $250/person, paid to Saint John's Abbey Guesthouse upon check-in and includes all meals and two nights lodging at the Guesthouse. There is space for 25 people, so please RSVP to hold your spot.

We’re blessed every year to have a collection of both new and past participants. This popular retreat fills rather quickly, so sign up soon! For retreat specific questions, please contact retreat organizer Nick Curtis ‘03 – nmcurtis1@gmail.com.
